The Global Market for Multi-Core Processors is Projected to Reach US$116.3 Billion by 2020
Escalating Computing & Performance Requirements
to Drive the Global Market for Multi-Core Processors, According to a New Report
by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
GIA
announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Multi-Core Processors.
The
global market for Multi-Core Processors is projected to reach US$116.3 billion
by 2020, driven by rising demand for faster computing speeds, and spiraling
sales of portable computing devices.
Multi-core
processing is a CPU architecture wherein two or more processors are integrated
onto a single integrated circuit. Multi-core architectures are gaining prominence
in the semiconductor and electronics industries, with new smartphones featuring
dual, triple, quad, and octa core processors. With consumers and businesses
demanding enhanced computing performance from their devices, semiconductor
companies are migrating to multi-core processors as an alternative to single
core processing systems. A key factor driving smartphone processing speeds is
the evolution of smartphones into personal organizers, music players, game
consoles, video players, and web browsers. The resulting need for superior image
and data processing is driving adoption of multi-core processors. The
transition of chip designs to multi-core processing architectures has
facilitated considerable improvements in product performance, while simultaneously
cutting down cost of production. Multi-core technology is particularly useful
when dealing with demanding tasks and applications such as 3D gaming, video
editing and encoding. Multi-core technology’s ability to bring about
incremental improvements in power and speed of processing for a range of
applications and services, while also offering advanced management and control
capabilities constitutes a key factor fuelling its adoption in various end-use
verticals.
Key
end-use sectors poised to generate strong demand for multi-core processors
include consumer electronics, transportation, automotive, industrial, medical,
and communications. Escalating demand for faster video, audio, image
processing, proliferation of connected devices, and enterprise shift towards
cloud computing are key factors stimulating demand for multi-core processor
chips. In the coming years, industrial automation, healthcare, automotive and
energy sectors are expected to generate significant demand for multi-core
processors. While the use of multi-core processor aids significantly in
improving performance of a device, the extent of such improvements depends on
the type of software algorithm used and its implementation.
As
stated by the new market research report on Multi-Core Processors, Asia-Pacific
represents the largest market, worldwide. The region, along with other
developing economies in Latin America and the Middle East, are spearheading
growth in the global market. Rapid industrialization, infrastructure
development, and Digital Darwinism in virtually all industries, offer ample
opportunities for semiconductor companies. Booming economies, urbanization,
growing employment opportunities, and rising spending power among the huge
middle class population are driving demand for a range of electronic devices in
Asia. Increased production of electronic devices in response to this growing
consumer demand is in turn providing a major fillip to electronic components
manufacturing and semiconductor industry in the region. Led by China, Asia-Pacific
is poised to record the fastest CAGR of 16.6% over the analysis period.
Major
players covered in the report include Advanced Micro Devices Inc., Applied
Micro Circuits Corporation, ARM Limited, Broadcom Corporation, Cavium Inc.,
EZchip Semiconductor Ltd., Freescale Semiconductor Inc., Intel Corporation,
Marvell Technology Group Ltd., MediaTek Inc., Qualcomm Incorporated, Samsung
Electronics Co. Ltd., and Texas Instruments Inc., among others.
